Measurement of steel cord conveyor belts

 

Measurement of steel cord conveyor belts

During the transport, processing and storage of cargo and bulk material often undesired abrasions on means of transportation, processing facilities and containers occur. To minimize this abrasion or to protect valuable transport goods, abrasion protection linings e.g. made of rubber, plastic (polyethylene, PTFE), polyurethane or polyurea are applied to prevent abrasion of the base material.

Because abrasion protection linings wear off depending on the usage, the thickness of the protective coatings has to be measured on a regular basis. The reliable evaluation of the abrasion is of great importance to take early measures and protect facilities from more severe damages. The common standard procedures are destructive measurement methods, which can result in long facility downtimes and usually have to be performed by external service providers.

To increase the availability and durability of the facility PHYNIX developed the coating thickness gauge Surfix® Pro X-CT with the F30-C measuring probe, which in combination provides non-destructive, easy, fast, precise and with high repeatability coating thickness measurements of rubber or plastic on steel cord conveyor belts. Due to systematic documentation of the measured values and statistical evaluations maintenance operations of the facility can coordinately be performed.
